In 1989 Eidson, an emergency medical technicial by trade, was competing in the "Hotter'N Hell 100" a 100 mile road race in the summer sun in Texas. With few places to fill a water container he filled an IV bag with water and slipped it inside a white tube sock and stuffed it into his bike jearsey. He then placed the thin hose over his sholder and clamped it in place using a trusty clothes peg - and there the Hands-free hydration system was discovered and as other racers laughed and struggled to fill thier water bottles he peddled onwards in the race.
